AceShowbiz - During a recent episode of Andy Cohen's podcast, Andy Cohen Live, the host addressed rumors about a potential comeback for Lisa Rinna on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Speculation had circulated that Cohen offered Lisa a $1 million contract to rejoin the Bravo series, but he firmly denied the claim.
When his co-host John Hill directly asked about the alleged offer, Cohen responded with skepticism. "Is that a rumor? No. We didn't do that," he explained, making it clear that no such deal was proposed. John joked that the rumored amount seemed low, but Cohen reiterated that Lisa's return to the show is unlikely. "I would say she's probably never coming back. I would say she's saying that too. Yeah, it's done," he added, signaling that the chapter on her involvement with RHOBH is likely closed.
Lisa Rinna herself weighed in during a separate interview, dismissing the idea of returning for the amount reported. She emphasized that to consider going back, she would require a significantly higher offer. "I'd need $5 million," she stated. Additionally, she refuted circulating rumors about Housewives cast members earning $2 million per episode, calling those figures "all bulls-t."
Despite stepping away from the popular reality show, Lisa Rinna has remained active in the entertainment world. Speaking about her participation in the competition series The Traitors, she revealed that she had specific conditions before agreeing to join. "I made sure there was a condition before I even signed onto the show," she shared. "I said, 'I won't do the show if this one, this one, or this one is there.'"
With both Cohen and Rinna dismissing the rumors, it appears that Lisa’s era on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has definitively come to an end, at least for the foreseeable future.
